The discussions centered on establishing frameworks and actionable steps to secure peace in Ukraine.
The statement highlighted that the Ukrainian delegation engaged in intensive and productive consultations with American and European counterparts, including a separate bilateral meeting between US and Ukrainian officials, described as constructive.
Both sides confirmed that the negotiations addressed timelines and the sequencing of next steps related to Ukraine’s peace plan, including discussions on the development of the 20-point plan and aligning positions on security guarantees for Ukraine.
